[Magdalen] DC rumblings

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Yes, I've been thinking a lot lately about *my* Watergate summer (1973). I 
had just finished my junior year in college and stayed on campus for the 
summer working for the Admissions office giving tours to potential students 
who visited campus that summer...  Hard to believe it's 44 years ago, that's 
for sure. Back in the day, in the town where my university was, waaay up 
north in the UP of Michigan - before Cable TV became a desire for zillions 
of stations, it was a basic necessity up there to even get any reception. 
Students did not bring TVs to school then (for many reasons), but each dorm 
and the Student Union had 'lounges' with TVs hooked to cable. I was in and 
out of the Union building several times a day and managed to hang near the 
door to see what was 'the latest' in the ongoing all-day coverage of the 
Watergate Hearings.  It was HUGE, I tell you, bigly.

ps. found while personally spellchecking one of the words in  my post:

bigly - Wiktionary
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bigly
bigly (comparative more bigly, superlative most bigly). (obsolete, most 
recently Scotland) Habitable, liveable; hence delightful, pleasant, 
pleasing. [quotations ▽].

This was not the only one. Sigh.
